WHY GOD CREATED YOUTUBE™: Fry That Chicken?

What is it about Ms. Peachez' video for Fry That Chicken that could cause resident JohnEats.com tipster Michael Knight to email us the declaration "this video changed my life"? Is it the video's no-holds-barred embrace of an ethnic stereotype? Is it the dulcet, cigarette-filtered tones of Ms. Peachez? Is it her blue and white wig? Her airbrushed self-referential t-shirt? The subtle food-item-as-sexual-metaphor lyricism rivalled only by Kelis' Milkshake? Or is it something else?

I got a pan, I got a plan!What could be more simple! This video is about enjoying the simple pleasures in life. These kids don't need the hottest new gaming system to have a good time. They just need some "Getto"[sic] fried chicken.

Also, the song has those viral qualities that will have you humming it for days.
